Round Museum

Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground

It’s your birthday, so let’s do the math. Three candles times eight years each equals 24. Ten radial lines plus ten icing swirls equals ten big slices. Or, if you have more than ten party guests dividing them in half will yield twenty thin slices. Now, five chocolate wafers equals only five extra-special pieces, so someone will be upset. If you remove the five wafers and cut each carefully into quarters, you’ll have 20 small chocolates for each slice. Or, you let the guests fight it out amongst themselves...

Memorial Day unofficially kicks off the summer season, the kids are close to the end of school, the barbeques are out, and if you're at the beach it’s likely a volleyball game might break out at any moment. Serve it, set it, spike it, dig it, but just don't get your Round blocked.

As soon as you reach the bridge at Great Egg Harbor Bay you can see this Giant Wheel in the distance in Ocean City, New Jersey. At 144 feet tall and one of the largest Ferris wheels on the east coast, this huge Round is the feature at Gillian's Wonderland Pier, an amusement park at 6th Street on the Boardwalk. Since 1929 the Gillian family's amusement parks have had a presence on the Boardwalk, the first originally founded by David Gillian, and then Wonderland Pier opened in 1965 by his son Roy.

Chestnut mushrooms on a rotting log
Eat them only if you know
A tiny taste doesn't burn like a fire
Or gills don’t smell like dirty clothes

Foragers will know that mushrooms with a bulbous sack
Cause a queasy stomach night
Drenched in sweat with your eyes all aglow
You'll find it hard to sleep at night

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-six
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Mushrooms can make you sick
